At a basic level, you want to count the number of times (and when) each key on your keyboard is pressed (in other words, use a key logging type application). If this is correct, then your use should be allowed. You're not mining the game for information at that point, you're just collecting data from your keyboard. The fact that StarCraft happens to be running is incidental at that point. | |

Each replay file is essentially a list of actions that happened in-game that the application itself will step through to show you what happened in the real game. By analyzing that file, you can track the types and number of actions performed. | |

So this way 3-rd party get a "bridge" to the game data and user can get advantage based on this data. As I know starcraft 2 do not provide such API and only way to get "in-game" data is to analyze RAM but this is not a my case for sure. | |
